Dang it! I can't manage a single good image of a kingfisher and you post two within a few days. Not fair. Another top notch image from you. Well done.

Nice job, Ken. Good pose and a sweet perch. I don't recall this species being posted before-neat bird.

This one's a beauty Ken. Nothing not to like here. Colors work well together and such a cool bird.

Thanks everybody for your comments, they are much appreciated
Jerry,
you need to take a boat trip in Africa, I would recommend Rhino Safari on Rhino Island in and an evening boat ride onLake Kariba, Zimbabwe or Lake Manze Lodge Selous Game Reserve, where you can take a relaxing trip on Lake Manze channel.
